THE LAW AND DOG DIRT:
While most dog owners are caring, responsible individuals, there are still some people who do not clean up after their pets.
Dog Fouling is covered by the following laws: Environmental Protection Act (1990), Litter (Animal Droppings) Order 1991; Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, The Countryside Code.
The person in charge of the dog (not necessarily the owner) is responsible for picking up the dog’s faeces.
Anyone who fails to clear up after their dog can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice of up to £100. This varies between local authorities. If the case goes to court this could cost the owner or person in charge of the animal up to £1,000.
Some local authorities have taken things further and are obliging dog walkers to be in possession of dog poo bags or a scoop. The fines for being found without poo bags vary. The general rule is that dog walkers must carry enough bags to clean up throughout the walk and at least two extras.
UK dog laws do not exempt an owner's excuse of 'not noticing' that their dog has fouled
YOUR HEALTH AND DOG DIRT:
Dog faeces can contain parasites that, if not cleaned up, can spread to grass. If this grass is eaten by pregnant cattle, it can cause them to lose their young. These parasites can also cause blindness in humans.
Dog dirt can contain the eggs of a type of roundworm known as the Toxocara worm. Contact with infected dog poo can cause Toxocariasis, a rare infection caused by roundworm parasites. The parasites are usually found in cats and dogs, and are more likely to affect young children as they are most likely to come into contact with soil contaminated with the roundworm larvae from dog/cat faeces.
In most people, the infection does not cause any symptoms and the parasites die within a few months. Some people experience mild symptoms, such as a cough, fever, headaches. In rare cases the larvae can infect organs such as the liver, eyes, brain or lung and cause more severe symptoms. These can include, fatigue, seizures, loss of vision, and breathing difficulties.
For that reason alone, it is very important not to leave your bagged dog poo on a grass verge or in undergrowth or hung on a tree, as once the bag has disintegrated, the poo is left where it could potentially still be harmful.
Please take your poo bag to a dog poo bin, litter bin or home to your waste bin, please do not leave it on the ground or hung on a tree.
Note: Owners of assistance dogs who have a disability that prevents them from picking up poo, for example a Guide Dog walked by a registered blind person, are exempt from these rules. So too are working dogs tending or driving of sheep or cattle, working with the armed forces, customs and excise or the police force.
